Primitive Radio Gods - Skin Turns Blue lyrics

"Show me from an 11-year olds' stand point, what is life?"
"You don't wanna be here! Y-You don't wanna be here!"


Words from the B-side
(See through the eyes of another)
One way down, one way down
(See through the eyes of another)
You're high on a wind wave that
(See through the eyes of another)
Don't know Jack, don't know Jack
(See through the eyes of another)

Shit about what it means
You're all beat down like a dog on a leash
Chasing things that don't move
But are never in reach
Sit down, lose your mind 'till it thinks right
Someday your skin turns blue

"Who are you? Who are you?"
(See through the eyes of another)
(See through the eyes of another)

When will you realize
(The nigger you hate is your brother)
One way down, one way down
(See through the eyes of another)
Surprised that I talk like that
(See through the eyes of another)
You ain't seen Jack, you ain't seen Jack
(See through the eyes of another)

Look what's happened to me
I'm all fucked up and it's easy to see
What you mean
Turned three hundred and sixty degrees
Skin rack, blow your mind up it sets right
Sometimes your skin turns blue

"He who has lived without honor must die without honor."
(See through the eyes of another)
"Who are you? Who are you?"
(See through the eyes of another)
"From this day forth, let no man call me white!"



I'm not gonna theorize
(You break the chains or you'll smother)
One way down, one way down
(See through the eyes of another)
It's a sign of a self-made man
(See through the eyes of another)
It all comes back, it all comes back
(See through the eyes of another)
Look who's always so down
You can't get up with your knees on the ground
Looking 'round
Trying hard for an easy way out
That's right, hold your breath if you like
But don't cry when your skin turns blue

[deep voice babbling]
(See through the eyes of another)
"Who are-Who are you?
(See through the eyes of another)
"Wh-Wh-Wh-Who are you?"
(See through the eyes of another)
"Sounds like..."
(See through the eyes of another)
"I don't want no one to get hit by a bullet that wasn't meant for me!"
